Josh Brolin Quotes

A Proposal for Mercy and Money

Carson Wells: You don't have to do this. I'm a day trader. I could just go home.
Anton Chigurh: You could?
Wells: I could make it worth your while. I could take you to an ATM with 14 grand in it, and everyone just walks away.
Chigurh: [amused] An ATM.
Wells: I know where the satchel is.
Chigurh: If you knew, you would have it with you.
Wells: I can find it from the riverbank. I know where it is.
Chigurh: I know something better. I know where it's going to be.
Wells: Where's that?
Chigurh: It will be brought to me and placed at my feet.
Wells: You don't know to a certainty. Twenty minutes, it could be here.
Chigurh: I do know to a certainty, and you know what's going to happen now, Carson. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.
Wells: You go to hell.
Chigurh: All right. Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
Wells: Do you have any idea how crazy you are?
Chigurh: You mean the nature of this conversation?
Wells: [The phone rings. Wells looks at it briefly before looking back to Chigurh, who shoots him dead. He picks up the phone.] I mean the nature of you. You...You can have the money, Anton.
Moss: Is, uh, Carson Wells there?
Chigurh: [glances at Wells' corpse] Not in the sense that you mean. You need to come and see me.
Moss: Who is this?
Chigurh: You know who it is.
Moss: [sighs] Yeah, I know who it is.
Chigurh: You need to talk to me.
Moss: I don't need to talk to you.
Chigurh: I think you do. Do you know where I'm going?
Moss: Why would I care where you're going?
Chigurh: I know where you are.
Moss: Yeah? Where am I?
Chigurh: You're in the hospital across the river. But that's not where I'm going. Do you know where I'm going?
Moss: [quietly] Yeah, I know where you're going. She's not gonna be there.
Chigurh: It won't make a difference if she's there.
Moss: So what are you going up there for?
Chigurh: You know how this is going to turn out, don't you?
Moss: No. Do you?
Chigurh: I think you do, so this is what I'll offer: you bring me the money and I'll let her go. Otherwise she's accountable, the same as you. That's the best deal you're going to get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't.
Moss: Yeah, I'm goin to bring you somethin', all right. I've decided to make you a special project of mine. You ain't goin to have to look for me at all.

Confrontation Between Two Reluctant Survivors

Carson Wells: Buenos días. I'm guessing this isn't the future you had planned for yourself when you first clapped eyes on that money. Don't worry. I'm not the man who's after you.
Llewelyn Moss: I know that. I've seen him.
Wells: You've seen him, and you're not dead?
Moss: What's this guy supposed to be, the ultimate badass?
Wells: No, I wouldn't describe him as that.
Moss: How would you describe him?
Wells: I guess I would say he doesn't have a sense of humor.
